which skimmer?

Octopus NW 150 or Vertex IN 100

I like the vertex because it has the turbulence reducing bubble plate chamber. and its really tall. But the octopus is widly used pretty common. what do you guys think?

 

do you feel like being the guinea pig and buying another skimmer if the one you get sucks?

 

might be worth it. i dunno

 

i was just asking, because if money isnt a issue a review on the vertex would be nice;D

if not i would recommend the octopus

 

I wouldn't buy either. If you want to stay with the octopus type, I would go ASM G1-X. Otherwise, I would seriously consider the bullet series. The Bullet-2 would serve you nicely think. The Octopus is a fine product, and you would get some good use out of it. But honestly, I think there are several better models out there to choose from. My five favorite in sump types in order of preference are Bullet, ETSS, AquaC, ASM and Octopus.

 

thx pharm but i may live a lil on the wild side and go for the vortex. i havet found anyone on 3reef with this skimmer, also i went on google and this skimmer has alot of great reviews. i think im goung to order it and let every one know on here how it proforms. its a 200$ skimmer if it works good il be stoked, if not ill let every one know not to buy it. i like to try to do things a lil difrent from the norm just to see what works good for me. ill let all know how it works. thanx all for the input but im goin to take a chance here.

 

Excellent!!! I can appreciate a dude who likes to live on the edge (this is considered the edge for this 45 year old BTW!!). I want a review...;D

 

you wil get your review, i know its on the edge but what the hay, later.

 

VERTEX AQUARISTIK

 

Vertex is a good skimmer from what I understand. Bubble King just released a new cone skimmer and had Vertex mass produce it. If BK trusts Vertex, I would think it's a good sign.
